Restricted items
Items that may be listed only under specific conditions.
What restricted means
Some categories are lawful to list but only with clear conditions. When listing restricted items you may need: proof of age; buyer or seller verification; business verification; legal documentation, permits or licences; or admin approval before the listing goes live.
Examples
Alcohol and regulated goods (subject to age and licensing rules). Medicines and medical devices (sold only by qualified vendors under applicable law). Vehicles (with registration and ownership documentation). Certain animals (with legal paperwork and welfare standards — see Animal welfare). Gift cards and virtual goods (subject to fraud-prevention rules).
Important
Restrictions exist to keep the marketplace lawful — they are not a loophole. Anything on the Prohibited items list is never permitted, with or without a restriction.
If you are unsure
Contact support before listing a category you suspect may be restricted. Listings that skip required approvals may be removed.
